Augmented reality broadens our vision of everyday life, so couldn’t the same be achieved for senior managers as they face growing complexity both within and beyond their company?

This short essay by an expert in corporate organization suggests ways in which 21st-century managers can «augment» their vision of management – and encourage the growth of those they manage.
